MARLBOROUGH• STREET. CUTTING AND WOUNDING WITH A KNIFE. Amelia Reynolds was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with unlawfully cutting and wounding James Norton, a booteloser, of 2, Leicester-buildings, Leicester-square. sergeant Horsey, 6 C, said that at a quarter to ten last night be was called to 2, Leicester-buildings, and in a room on the first floor he saw a man with the right side of his shirt saturated with blood. The man, whose name was Norton, said "Look here," at the same time pointing to his shirt. He (Horsey) asked Norton who had done it, and he said " That woman," meaning the prisoner. He asked him what she had done it with, and he said 'with a sharp knife.' The prisoner then said, "I did it, and will serve him a - sight worse." The prisoner afterwards gave hisi a knife (a sharp po'nted shoemaker's knife), at the same time say ing, that's the knife I did it with." Norton then said he felt very weak from the loss of blood, and a constable, by his directions, took him to the Charing cross Hospital. Norton said h© would attend the Court that morning, but had not done so. The surgeon at the hospital last night said he could not tell the result of the wound. Mr Tyrwhitt asked what Norton was, and the sergeant said he was a boot-closer. He.only knew the prisoner as a prostitute. He believed she lived with Norton. The prisoner said she was using the knife to cut her sup • per, when Norton came in the worse for liqaor and knocked her down. A scuff') took place between them, and some how Norton got wcunded in the side. Norton was con stantly ill using her or knocking her about. Sergeant Horsey handed Mr Tyrwhitt the following cer tificate which he received from the hospital.— " James Norton was brought here with a stab in his right Ioin.—JAMES G. MACKINLAY, house surgeon, Char ing -cross Hospital, Nov. 16." _ _ _ Mr Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner till Monday next, but if Norton came she could bo brought be fore him again. The ptisoner was then remanded. WESTMINSTER. Dennis Harring'on, a labourer of Herculean proportions, was charged with a most disgraceful outrage. Ellen Sullivan. a very aged and infil m person, said she lived at 2. Bull's-head-court, Orchard-street, Westminster, and the prisoner was her son-in-law, who lived with her, Yesterday afternoon he came home and beat her, and dragged her about and kicked her, lie came home under the influence of liquor, and asked her for some fish. She reminded him that be had before eaten it, and he then com menced his ill treatment. He se . zed her by the hair of the head, struck her several times, and then kicked her. Mr Arnold—How old are you ? Prosecutor—Four score and two. Mr Arnold—lt is a great age. What was done after this ? The police—She was taken to the hospital, and he was afterwards apprehendad. Prisoner—l never touched her. She fell down and hurt herself. I asked for something to eat, and she said she had not got anything, and that's how it happened. I never touched her. Mr Arnold—Let the persons in the house, if any are here, stand forward. A woman was sworn who:evidently eudeavourod to screen he accused, and pretended she knew nothing about it. The police said that this woman had declared to them that she had heard the old woman's cries for help. Witness admitted having heard her cries of murder. A seoond woman was put into the witness box, and al though not so unwilling to give evidence as the other, there was some reservation. She heard the old woman cry " Murder" two or three times, and also heard the prisoner use violent threats to her. There was a great noise in their room at the time she cried out. Police constable Edward Arnold, 247 B, said ho was called to Buckshead-court, and found prosecutrix bleeding —blood was streaming down her face from one of her eyes. Prisoner then got away, but was taken in the course of the afternoon, when he used violent threats to the old woman declaring what he would do to her when he got at liberty. Mr Arnold—This brutal assault is very clearly proved, although there is a marked desire on the part of the wit nesses to conceal the facts. Nothing can be more disgrace ful than a powerful man like you assaulting this aged wo man. You are committed for six months to hard labour in the House of Correction, and must find bail for your good behaviour six months longer. THAMES, DANGER ON THE ROAD.—James Wilke, a tall, elderly man, was brought before Mr Paget charged with being drunk while in charge of a waggon and four horses in the Bow-road, yesterday afternoon. The case was clearly made out against the prisoner. Police-constable 301 K said the prisoner was seated on the box of the waggon. The reins of the horses were thrown on ono side, and the animals were proceeding slowly along the road towards Essex. The prisoner, who was very drunk, w s quite incapable of managing the horses, They were without any control at all. The prisoner said he was very sorry for being in the state in which he was discovered. He had drunk a little too much. As to the horses, they could take care of themselves. He drove without reins yesterday, Mr Paget—Then there was great dangor to passengers crossing the road ? The Prisoner—There was no fear of that. Mr Paget—There was great danger. If any woman or child had been crossing the road the horses would have gone over them. There was no check. The prisoner said his duties were very heavy. He was on duty 2•i hours, from 9 o'clock one night until 11 the next, taking animal charcoal between Irish-row, East Ham, and the sugar baker's in Whitechapel. Mr Paget—l consider this a very serious offence. A drunken man driving four horses and a heavy waggon along a public road without reins. You are fined 20s, and in default 14 days' imprisonment. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Oar market to-day was but moderately supplied with home-grown wheat. For selected parcels there was a steady demand at full prices; otherwise, the trade was dull at about Monday's currency. With most descriptions of foreign wheat the market was well supplied. Generally speaking, sales proceeded slowly at the rates current on Monday. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at previous quotations. The market was seasonably well supplied with barley. Good and fine malting:qualities we: e in steady request at full prices, but for inferior produce the demand was very in active, at late rates. In malt, a very moderate business was transacted, on former terms. There was a good supply of oats on tho stands. Generally speaking, the trade was firm, and Monday's prices were well supported. Beans met a slow sale, at late rates. For peas, the trade was quiet, at previous quotations. In flour, only a moderate business was transacted, at late prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat.

THE DANISH WOUNDEDL—The committee which at the outset of the Danish war was formed, under the pre sidency of the Marquis cf Clanrioarde, to collect funds for the relief of the sick and wounded of the Danish army, have just remitted a final sum of £124 15s 6d to the Danish committee at Copenhagen, ranking a total of nearly £9,200 collected in England, and remittted to Denmark for this benevolent object. Th e collection of such a sum for the relief of the wounded of a foreign army is no slight evi dence of the sympathy felt in England for the Danes in their gallant struggle against an overwhelming force. En. ! . LAMBERT.--'' Mr Lambert will see company at his house, Number Fifty•three, Piccadilly, next Albany, nearly opposite St James's Church, from eleven to five o'clock. Tickets of admission, One Shilling each." He was one of the lions of London for a time. His exhibition room (what a famous place Piccadilly has been for giants, dwarfs, lean people, and fat people I) was visited by the high born as well as by the vulgar; and he appears to have been respected as well as looked at, for he was a kind and sensible man, He was always shocked at the idea of any personal indignity or insult being cast upon him on the ground of his bulk by coarse minded parsons; and this known susceptibility was generally respected, Mr Lam bert was healthy in spite of his obesity, Some years earlier, when he was thrice the weight of an ordinary man, ho could carry a weight of 5001 b. Dating the last fifteen years of his life he drank nothing but water, and was usually cheer ful and good-humoured. His bulk increased year by year, until, shortly before his death, in 1809, he attained the unprecedented weight of 739,13. (nearly 53 stones). His coffin was 76 inches long by 52 inches wide, and con tained 112 square feet of elm. The coffin was regularly built upon axles and wheels; and not only the window, but also the side of a room, hp..d to be taken down, to afford a passage for the bulky man. The wheeled coffin was drawn to St. Martin's churchyard, where a gra dual descent was made to the grave by excavating the ground.

Public Works in the Manufacturing Districts. That the operation of the Public Works Acts in the manufacturing districts should be watched with a solicitude akin to suspicion is no more than natural. In other countries the expedient is common enough, but not so with ourselves. 'We consider that such an employment of public money is necessarily open to serious abuse, and if the emergency had not been extreme, the occasion unparalleled, and the obli gation overruling, the Act would never have been passed. However, while Lancashire did its own part in•the relief of the distress produced by the Cotton Famine, and while the public at large did the same, the contribution of the State itself to the work of charity was represented by an advance of nearly two millions sterling for the creation of arti ficial employment in the districts r fll cted. By the aid or this money, fu: nished on easy terms, each township or cor poration might undertake public works which would not have been undertaken otherwise, so that the demand for labour thus produced might provide with fresh earnings those operatives whose ordinary wages had ceased with the stoppage of the cotton mills. There was little or no restriction attached to the proposed expenditure, save that the works undertaken should be of public utility, but it was an obvious condi, ion of the bargain that the money thus furnished should be applied as far as possible in promotion of its immediate object—the employ mart of the factory operatives thrown out of work. Of course as these operatives brought no avail able skill to their new labour it was inevitable that skilled workmen from other trades should be employed to guid e them, but it was understood that in the selection and exe cution of the works to be undertaken preference should be given to such designs as would employ unskilled labour in the greatest proportion, We can now lay betore the public two pieces of authen tic information on this subject. We can tell them exactly what has been done in the aggregate, and we can let them see in detail what was actually going on in the last week of last month. The total amount of money set apart for the purposes in question was £1,850,000, and of this as much as £1,706,642 has been already ap propriated, although the greater portion of it remains still to be advanced by future instalments. The un appropriated balance, therefore, is but little over £50,000, and applications more than sufficient to absorb this sum have teen made, Altogether, of the £1,850,000 originally available, rather less than the £850,000 has bean already expended, and rather more than the £1,000,000, though it is all bespoken, remains for expenditure still. Now, what was this fund doing for us in the week taken at hazard, and how did it contribute to the mitigation of Lancashire distress P Well, we are told that, including the pro ceedings in some eighty different places, it provided 4,002 factory operatives with wages, and most readers will probably be surprised at the smallness of the pro duct, In fact, the product certainly is small, though a god deal has to be added in the way of explanation. To begin with, these figures must not be measured with those which periodically indicate the recipients of relief, When we report that 150,000 persons were relieved in a particular week the number represents all the men, women, and children of their several families; when we say that 4,000 factory operatives found employment under the Public Works Act we speak of able-bodied men alone, each one of whom supports by the wages of this employment the remainder of the family. Thus adopting the usual principle of computation, these works provided 16,000 persons with the means of living. Then, there were supposed to be 2,000 more employed in getting stone and other materials for the works in progress, which would add 8,000 to the former numbers. Lastly, there were 2,422 skilled labourers employed in the direction and instruction of the others, which would give 8,000 more, so that between 30,000 and 40,000 persons were finding sup port through this advance of public money. It is true that the engagement of skilled labourers would not directly diminish the pressure on the factory operatives, but still their earnings were spent in the district to the advantage of the small shopkeepers and the general benefit of the neighbourhood. One other circumstance, too, should be mentioned. Mr Rawlinson, the superintendent engineer, informs us that in some places, and especially in Black burn, the factory operatives who had taken service in these works, and acquired a knowledge of their new em ployment. made a point of returning themselves as "skilled labourers," being unwilling to lose the benefit derivable from the capacity which they had gained. Nevertheless, it will doubtless be considered that all this money should have employed a greater number of the dis tressed operatives, and that conclusion will be confirmed by a oomparison of the proceedings and results at different points of the distressed districts. We subjoin, for example, the total amounts borrowed according to this return in the seven instances where the demands upon the fund have been greatest, and the numbers of factory operatives em ployed respectively at the places in question during the last week in October : N umber Employed. Ashton-under-Lytle 125,032 .. 150 Blackburn Bolton Manchester Oldham Stalybridge Preston With these figures let us now contrast the fol lowing : Number Employed. Bury Glossop 16,401 .. 392 Hurst S'ockport "Wigan Now, if these figures are added up, it will be seen that seven towns, with funds amounting to £342,518, were em ploying only 1,140 factory operatives, whereas five others, with only £173,106 between them, were keeping 1,140 operatives at work. The case of Manchester in particular is remarkable, all the more so, indeed, as that city has actually received for expenditure the greater part of its very large share of money, whereas in other cases, though the loan obtained may have been considerable, the sum hitherto applied has been comparatively small. The contrasts above presented arise, no d oubt, from a great variety of circumstances. In the first instance, the nature of the works undertaken probably governed the demand for labour, skilled and unskilled, and is is easy to understand that the selection of these works was not always entirely at the discretion of the authorities. It was stipulated that they should be in all cases of public utility, or, in other words, that they should be wanted for the use and ben(fi of the people, and if, therefore, certain works were not required, they could not be undertaken, w hatever promise of empl oymen t th e p ros pect might offer. M We infer, however, fromr Rawlinson's report that some local authorities have, "in their selection of works, thought as much as sanitary improvement as of the amount of em ployment which would be aff)rded to indigent factory ope ratives," for that gentleman distinctly says that if they have done so " it can hardly be deemed a matter of regret." We feel by no means certain of that conclusion. The first object of the public grant was certainly the relief of Lanca shire distress by the artificial employment of Lancashire o f all other objects, ho wever d es i ra ble they may have , appeared in and this, we think, should have had precedence themselves. Manchester, it seems, has applied u pwards of £lOO,OOO to th e water•supp ly o f the town—its expen diture, in-leed, h av i ng been almost exc l us i ve ly de voted to that purpose. The purpose in itself may be ma• ex ceptionable, but if it has not contrituted to the relief of the unemployed cotton hands, we think the money might have been better invested, and that Manchester should either have done more or borrowed less, It will be little satisfaction to reflect on the million of money still available for the relief of the distressed districts during the impending winter unless we can believe tho classes distressed will get the benefit of the expenditure. We trust this will be the case, as far as practicable ; but we should be glad of some better assurance than we can derive, on the whole, from from tht return before us.—Times. The Execution of Muller. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Your report in today's paper of the exeeu• tion of Franz Muller is entirety correct, with the one exception that the unhappy man declared he was innocent not while, but before, the Sacrament was being administered to him. Soon after entering his cell on the last morning I asked Muller again whether he was guilty of this murder. He denied it. I then said," Muller, the moments are precious; we must turn our minds wholly to God ; I shall question you no more about this, but my last words to you will he ' Are you innocent ?' " He remained silent for a minute or two, but presently exclaimed, his eyes full of tears, and clasping his arms round my neck, " Do not forsake me; stop with me to the last." I was so struck with this that I consulted with Mr Jonas, the .Governor, whether the final question should be put in the pinioning room or on the scaffold. We decided for the latter. The manner iu which this crime was committed will never be known. 'My own firm conviction, de rived from the closest pt rsonal intercourse with the prisoner, is that murder was not premedi ated ; but that Muller, in want of money, and yielding to a sudden temptation, attacked his victim for the sake of robbery, and finished, in the despair of the mo ment, by killing him either with his own hands, or by causing his fall from the railway carriage. 1 recollect particularly on one occasion, when I repre sented to him the crime as likely to have taken place in this way, he answered not, but gazed at me intently, and impressed me at the time with the belief of the correctness of my supposition. I have generally observed that Muller was most earnest in protesting his innocence when directly charged with murder. Statements such as having never been in a North London Railway train he made only in answer to pointed questions, and, it seems, in order not to contradict previous similar assertions. His manner—simple, gentle, and apparently open and truthful—was such as easily to deceive even ex perienced observers, and the wonderful self-posses. sioa of this most remarkable character was never more strikingly manifested than by his fencing with words, the rope round his neck and the white cap over his face, when about to confess his guilt at the very last moment. His last two. hours were all peace and prayer. He repeated what he had said before, " If I had died six months ago I should have been lost, but now I entirely rely on God's mercy ; I have done with the world and am ready to leave it.' He stated all recent events had at times appeared to him like a vision or a dream, adding that he had passed in solitude through many terrible hours since his arrest in America. He was full of meekness and resignation, forgave frzely all his enemies, re quested me to write to his father that he should die a happy and repentant man, and spoke in terms of affection and gratitude of the prison officials, par ticularly of the Rev. Mr Davis and Mr Jonas, the Governor. And I desire to conform to his sentiments towards all the officers of the prison, and cannot sufficiently express my admiration of the firmness, combined with touching kindness and tenderness of heart, with which Mr Jonas fulfilled his most try. ing functions. It is a blessing indeed to have such officers in such a prison. In conclusion, I feel constrained respectfully to call the attention of the proper authorities to what seems to me a cruel and crying evil in Newgate. Again and again on Monday morning in those last solemn moments our prayers were interrupted by the savage yells of the multitude assembled to wit ness the execution. Cannot the condemned cells be placed in a position where the noise of hammering and the shouts of the mob do not reach the ears of the miserable culprit ? I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, LOUIS CAPEL, D.D., Minister of the German Lutheran Church, Alie-street, Goodman's-fields. 4, Primrose-hill•road, Nov. 15.

He waited on the cute of one of the parishes in that town, and announced himself as the nephew of the Grand Vicar of the See of Marseilles, at the same time presenting a letter of recommendation, bearing an imitation of the signature of that ecclesiastic, and of the seal of the bishopric. He then requested the cure to accompany him to a banking house of the town to obtain payment of a cheque for 3,750 f, signed by a well-known firm at Marseilles. The venerable pi iest consented, and the cash was obtained, but both draft and letter have since proved to be only forgeries, TO THE EDITOR OT THE SUN. SIR, —By the gasping,. sobbing gratification that Irs so generally followed Muller's supposed confession, I may fairly conclude that very many others besides myself either felt that he was innocent, or that (as the Scotch term it) his crime was "not proven," and that there really was a doubt about it, which ought, and perhaps would, have been given in Muller's favour, but for a sort of panic all society had imbibed from the nature of the deed—a murder—and an escape against time—in a railway first-class carriage, with only two minutes or so to do it all in. Your paper and the Mites appear to have given the most probable version of this confession. For myself, Sir, I do not believe in the confession of Muller. Ido not mean that Dr Cappel mis-stated, but only misunderstood what Muller actually said just as the drop fell. Muller had said, in reply to Dr Cappel, "God Almighty knows what I have done." The doctor's next question was— " Ile knows if you have done this particular deed ?" and he makes Muller say— " Yes, I have done it." Now, I consider Muller's answer more likely to have been —"Yes, if I have done it ;" meaning, evidently, that " of course. God knows whether I did the murder or not." And this is consistent with all that had gone before, especially the declaring his innocence after he had taken the Sacra ment. The point, however, that I wish further to call your at tention to, on behalf of all eondemned felons in future, is, that Muller, being c)nvicted on a Saturday night, was hanged in just a fortnight and a day, because the three Sundays elapsed in that period. Had his trial been carried over to the Monday, he would have had three week for re pentance. I trust you will animadvert on the above incon sistency, or haste; and that by no possibility in future such a boon should be shortened by a mere chance, as occurred with this most unfortunate foreigner. I remain, Sir, one of your constant readers, 15th November, 1861. We beg to direct the attention of our correspon dent " W." to the following conversation that took place between Dr Capel and the convict on the morning of the execution:-- The final asseverations and confession of the unhappy man who was executed on Monday have been reported with some slight variation of phrase, although the import was in most instances the same. The actual words made use of aro subjoined in the original German. One hour before the time appointed for the execution the Rev. Dr Cappel in the con demned cell exhorted Muller to confess to him if ho had been guilty of the crime for which he was so soon to suffer. The prisoner was si'ent, but in aluoment, overwrought, he laid his head upon Dr Cappel's shoulder, weeping bitterly. He only said, " Oh, don't forsake me I Stay with me to the last 1" Hitherto the declarations of the prisoner had been to maintain the plea that he was innocent, and inferentially, though never directly, to deny his commission of the crime. The appeal he now made, and his abstention from any pre varication or assertion, gave Dr Cappel a hope that he would at last confess, and he determined that his final ap peal should be on the scaffold. When he stood under the gallows with Muller, the Rev. Mr Davis being with him, he spoke as follows :--- Dr Cappel—Muller, in wenigen Augenblicken stehen Sie vor Gott ; ioh frage Sie nochmals, and zum letzen male, Sind Sie schuldig oder unschuldig? Muller —lch bin unschuldig. Dr Cappel—Sie rind unschuldig ? Muller—Gott weiss was ich gethan hnbe. Dr Cappel—Gott weiss was Sie gethan haben. Weiss er auch dass Sie dies Verbrechen gethan haben? Muller— Ja ; ich habe es gethan. The words translated are as follows : Dr Cappel said— Muller, in a few moments you will stand before God. I ask you again, and for the last time, are you guilty or not guilty Muller answered—Not guilty. Dr Cappel—You are NOT guilty ? Muller—God knows what I have done. Dr Cappel—God knows what you have done. Does He also know that you have committed this crime ? Muller — Yes ; I have done it. There is a strong probability that if the executioner had not been so terribly prompt in withdrawing the fatal bolt, Muller would have made a much fuller confession, and that his tenacious hope of reprieve having at last given way, ho would perhal s have made some statement as to how the struggle took place which resulted in the murder. It was only by the very narrowest chance the culprit had time to say what he did; for the important words were ahnost choked in the uttering. It is usual at executions for all those whose painful duty takes them actually upon the scaffold to retire before the executioner draws the bolt of the drop; but on Monday morning Calcraft actually per formed this task while the two ministering clergymen—the Rev. Mr Davis, the ordinary of Newgate, and the Rev. Dr Cappel—were standing close beside the unhappy convict, listening with intense anxiety to the hurried words which bore the scant but conclusive confession. P fter Calcraft had drawn down the cap, tied the rope round Muller's neck, and secured his legs with the usual strap, all which he did with remarkable quickness, he suddenly left the platform. The two clergymen, who were standiLgim mediately ix front and as near to the prisoner as po,e,ible, were not able to converse with him during the time the hangman was engaged in h'is office ; but when these terrible details were finished the Rev. Dr Cappel spoke to Muller with the greatest solemnity, and with peculiar earnestness of tone. The spectators who were near the gallows appeared to be greatly impressed. Only the little group under the beam could hear what words were uttered. It appeared as though the last counsel of the German minister was received by Muller with an intensify of feeling. Dr Cappel bent for ward with outstretched hands, and with his face close to that of the unhappy criminal. Through the white cap, which hardly came even with tin, jaw, the lips could be seen mov ing, and while Dr Cappel wag thus listening the drop fell, with a suddenness that must have greatly startled that gen• tleman. Dr Cappel was actually 'caning forward and listen ing when the body went down. The tc► D clergymen were left or the moment in dreadful contigui , y to the dying man. Extraordinary Inquiry. A protracted inquiry was held last evening by Mr W. Payne, coroner for the City of London, at the Vestry. room, Fountain-court. The inquest was held on the body of a newly-born male child, and, owing to rumours of an extra ordinary character, excited great inter( st. Mr Clines, vestry clerk,attended to watch the case on behalf of the parish autho rities, and the Rev. Mr Roberton, incumbent of St, Botolph, Aldgate, the Rev. Mr Hunt, curate, and Mr Churchwar den King, C.C., were also present. The first witness called was Walter Parkhale, who said that he was steeple-keeper and gas-lighter of the parish of St Botolph. On Friday last, at twelve o'clock, he saw the body of the deceased child in the vault of the church of St Botolph, Aldgate. It was wrapped up in a newspaper. Miss Hammond, the sextoness, brought him a message from the curate, the Rev. Mr Hunt, to come to him in the vestry-room. Wit ness accordingly went thither, and Mr Hunt told him that there was a parcel down in the vaults, and that he wanted the skeleton of a child. He said, "There is no other way of doing it but to boil it," Mr Hunt gave witness a shilling to buy a saucepan to boil it in. He was to bring the pot to Mr Hunt on Saturday evening. Witness went out and told Mr William Biggs and the sextonese. It was after that conversat.on ;hat - witness went into the vault and saw the body in the parcel. Witness took it up and put it in a shell. Witness did not buy the pot, as he did not think it right. He did not see the curate after the Friday. In consequence of informa tion given to them, the churchwardens ordered the vaults to be locked up. Mary Hammond, sextoness to the church, said that on Wednesday last the curate came to the church, and said to witness, " Open the vault door, and let me down there." He said no more. and witness opened the vault and turned on the gas. The curate had a parcel, and he took it down into the vault and left it there. Witness thought it was a bundle of clothes. Wit ness then locked the vault. Mr Hunt told witness net to let the steeple-keeper go away before he saw him, The steeple-keeper came out, and told witness that Mr Hunt had given him a shilling to buy a pot to boil the child in.—Mr William Biggs said that on Friday last he officiated at St. Botolph's Church as parish clerk. Witness was speaking to Miss Hammond, when she told him Mr Hunt had deposited a bundle of clothes in the vault. Witness thought that was a strange place for clothes, and when Parkhale came out, after speaking to the curate, witness said, in a jocular manner, " Bring out the baby from the vault." Parkhale, to his sur prise, answered, "Yes, he has given me a shilling to buy a pot to boil it in." Witness went to Mr Churchwarden King, and told him what had occurred, and the vaults were con sequently locked up, On Saturday Mr Hunt called and asked for the key, but on being told that by Mr King's orders the vaults were locked, he said, " Mr King is a fool, and a big fool." Mr David King said that he was church warden of the parish of St. Botolph, On Saturday he requested the Rev. Mr Roberton, the Rev. Mr Hunt, and Mr Clines, the vestry clerk, to meet him in the vestry room, and at three o'clock he met them there, He cautioned the Rev. Mr Hunt as to any statement he might make, and asked him for an explanation of the charge. The rev. gentleman treated the matter with great levity. He said that the body was that of a foetus and not of a child, and that he only wanted to boil it to get the skeleton. When asked, "How and from whom did you get it ?" he declined to answer. A surgeon was then sent for, and from what transpired they sent to the coroner. Afterwards Mr Hunt stated that he wanted the child for scientific and anatomical purposes. Mr Holman, M.R,C.S., said he had examined the body, which was tha: of a well formed seven months' child, only very recently born. He believed the infant was alive up to the time of birth, but might have died during birth. Judging from ap pearances he did not believe that a medical man had been present at the birth. The Rev. Mr. Hunt was examined at great length. Ile had been pur suing for some time anatomical studies, and in doing this he contended there was nothing inconsistent with his duties as a clergyman. He had attended a complete course of lectures by Mr Savory, the eminent lecturer on anatomy and physiology, at Bartholomew's Hospital, and that gen tleman entirely agreed with him as to the benefit a theolo gian would derive from those studies. Dr Thynne last Wed nesday gave him the fceous as a present, Having no convenience at his lodgings he took it to the vaults, and told Parkhale to buy a pot to warm water on Saturday for the purpose of dissection. He then remarked upon what he considered the extraor dinary conduct of Mr Churchwarden King, and when in formed by the sextoness that Mr King had ordered her to keep the vault locked he was naturally amazed, and told the sextoness in a good-natured way to tell Mr King that he was a fool. He solemnly deelared that the words " boil" and "saucepan" were never used by him. Dr. Thomas Thyme proved giving the body of the child, which was stillborn,- to Mr Hunt. Dr. Hadlow and Dr. Barnes gave evidence as to Mr Hunt being devoted to medical studies. The coroner in summing up expressed an opinion that the churchwardens had done their duty in investi gating this case, as the public mind would not have been satisfied without an inquiry. The jury delivered a verdict to the following effect—" That the deceased child was still-born, and the jury, while admitting the right of the Rev. Mr. Hunt to study medicine, are of opinion that it would be better if he confined his studies to matters of a clerical character, to the exclusion of the study of ana tomy." Dreadful Sufferings of a Ship's Crew. On Saturday the Anchor Line steamer Caledonia arrived at the Tail of the Batik from New York. She had on board three of the crew of the brig Ayrshire Lass, of Ardrossan, which vessel the Caledonian fe 1 in with about 7 p.m. on the 9th inst., in latitude 55 N. longitude 13 W. with a flag of distress flying. A boat was immediately sent on board the brig from the steamer, when it was found that the Ayrshire Lass was a complete wreck and water-logged. The sur vivors of the crew of the brig were only three in number, and were very much exhausted. They were accordingly sent on board the Caledonia, and the second officer of the steamer, with a number of men, were left on board the brig, The Caledonia then took the Ayrshiro Lass ha tow. Mr Brown, mate of the Ayrshiro Lass, states :—We left Miramichi on the 26th September, with a cargo of deals, bound for Ardrossan, and had proceeded on our passage, all well, till the forenoon of Sunday, the 23d October, in latieude 54 30 N. latitude 11 20 VT., when the vessel was struck on the starboard bow with a heavy sea, which threw her over on her beam ends. The captain and two of the crew were below in the cabin asleep at the time, and were drowned. After the vessel had been on her beam ends for about half an hour, the mate managed to cut away the main topmast backstay, which allowed the main topmast to break away, and it carried away the foremast close to the deck. The vessel then righted. The decks were clean swept of everything ;and all the beef and water we had on board, being on the deck, was therefore lost. The cabin was filled with water and the vessel water. logged. Next day, Monday, we managed to hook up a small bag of biscuits from the cabin. They were quite soft, having been in the water for 28 hours. On the nest Monday the biscuits were about done. Then we killed the dog, and on it we survived, with a very small portion of biscuit for other ten days. On the 9:h, at two p.m. we had finished the dog, and had nothing to eat, thus having been 17 days on the wreck. At seven p.m. on the same night we wore picked up by the Caledonia. Last Sunday, a barque, supposed to be a foreigner, passed us, and although they saw our signals, no attention was paid to them. Last Saturday we got the bodies of Capt. James Grant, and one of the crew, named Andrew Hudson, out of the cabin and buried them at sea. The body of the other seaman, named Lawrence Smith, was never seen."

The accompany extracts are from a letter, dated Sept. 26, written by an English gentleman who has been in the South during a great portion of the war ; Lee himself is worn and anxious, but as cheerful to the eye and as indomitable as ever. I assure you Lee is more than ever a sight for gods and men. The same tranquil mo desty, utter absence of vanity, egotism, or self-seeking, and determination to spend and Be spent in discharge of his duty. It is certainly one of the most beautiful characters I ever read of—certainly the most beautiful that I ever en countered. lam sorry to say that poor Longstreet is still suffering greatly. The ball went in at the base of -his throat, just below Adam's apple, and cut its way out through the right shoulder, just below the clavicle. As it passed out it cut the nerves of sensation and motion of the right arm. The arm still remains paralysed as far as motion is concerned, but the nerves of sensation are somehow involved in the cicatrix, and are morbidly and acutely sensitive and irritable. He has taken oceans of morphine and is greatly reduced, but I fear the pain remains as great as ever. FEDERAL Dmar.—The official statement of the public debt represents that the amount outstanding was in creased by more than 61,000,000 dole. in the month of October.

The inauguration of the statue of Daubenton took place the day before yesterday at the Jardin d'Ac clima'ation in the Bois de Boulogne, hit the state of the weather operated sadly against the fete. The statue has been placed in front of the large aviary, near which tri bunes ornamented with flags were erected for the members of the Society and for the representatives of great scientific bodies. Among the persona present were M. Passy—Count d'Epremesnil, Secretary General of the Society—M. Rufz de Lavison, Director of the Garden—Marshal de Santa Cruz—M. Stanislas Julien, Member of the Institute, and several other scientific notabilities. The ceremony was pre sided over by M. de Quatrefuges, Vice President of the society, who delivered an address appropriate to the occa sion. M. Richard (du Cantal) next spoke, and pointed out all the practical results which had already been obtained from the labours of M. Daubenton, That illustrious ser vant, he said, born at Montbard (Cote d'Or), was the first who acclimatised Merino sheep in France, a fact which had materially improved the manufacture of cloth in the country. He was also the first to apply the science of comparative anatomy in the determination of fossil bodies. It was however more particularly for the services he had rendered to agriculture and to manufactures that his statue merited a place in the Jardin d'Acclimatation. After M. Viard, mayor of Montbard, had spoken in high praise of Daubenton, and of tha valuable services which he had rendered to the country, the meeting broke up.

THE CONFEDERATE CRUISER SIIENANDOAH (LATE SEA KIN o).—We received a letter yesterday from part of the crew of the Sea King, who returned to England in the African steamer Calabar. The •men state that tha Sea King is now called the Shenandoah, and thalPCaptain Semmes was pointed to them as the captain of the vessel. They state also that the Sea King hoisted the Confederate flag, and that one was offered £lB per month to join the ship. After making inquiries we find that the 36 men who returned in the Calabar hold discharges marked V. G. (very good). Many of the:men are members of the Total Absti nence Society, and therefore the charges of drunkenness cAnnot apply to them. We understand several of the crew of the Laurel were discharged for intemperanc e ; but we believe the crow of the Sea king behaved themselves cre ditably in every respect. The men who have returned have been well treated, and have been recompensed for their services. The whole of the 36 men who returned in the Calabar did not go out in the Laurel, but shipped on board the Sea King from London.—Liverpool paper. SINGULAR APPLICATION FORA SUMMONS AGAINST THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NRIGHTON RAILWAY COM. PANY.—Yesterday at the Southwark Police court. soon after Mr Woolrych had taken his seat and disposed of a few of the night charges, a gentleman entered the court, and having handed his card to one or the ushers, stated that he was a shareholder of the Brighton Railway Com pany, and he wished his worship to grant him a summons against a gentleman connected with the railway for getting out of one of the carriages while the train was in motion. Mr Woolrych said an application had better be made by one of the officers of the company in the regular way. Appli cant —They will not stir in the matter, sir; the offender is too great a man for them to interfere with. Mr. Wool rych—have you complained to the officers of the railway ? Applicant— Oh yes, sir; I told them of it, and they laughed at me, but I am determined to proceed in the matter as far as the law allows me. Mr Woolrych—Who is the great offender? Applicant—Mr Leo Schuster, the chairman of the company. Whenj mentioned the circumstance to one of the officers of the company, the tuan said, " Oh, that's nothing ; Mr Schuster nearly always gets out of the car riage while the train is in motion." Mr Woolrych—When did the offence occur ? Applicant—On the 10th of last month, and the reason I have not applied for a summons before is, that I have been in the country and have been making inquiries how I should proceed. Mr Woolrych— The time is so distant that I do not think it would be proper to grant a summons. You should have applied before. The applicant said he thought the time did not matter. Last year he, unfortunately, was summoned by the company for a similar offence alter the lapse of a month, and ho was fined 405., which he paid. The directors of the company had not treated him so gentlemanly as they ought, therefore he considered that he had a right to summon the chairman for breaking the law. Mr Woalrych —Then you proceed rather vindictively ? Applicant—No, sir; but I think that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. (Laughter.) Mr Woolrych—l suppose ycu mean by that you have been the goose? Applicant—Well, perhaps Ido ; but you will notwithstanding grant me a summons. Mr Woolrych— You may take your summons, sir, • "H !leti li ?Al e° Fla! irig ° 0° o ; fiel d odsli ; 1° 0'' ; ; r ° I . A 13.14.
